The use of SA2 regions rather than Local Government Areas (LGAs) means that the above data is for a geographic region that may not exactly match the boundaries of the LGA in question. As such, the data in this report should be considered as the best approximation of the visitor profile in each LGA. TRA's change to SA2 reporting means that this profile is not comparable with previous LGA profile reports. Expenditure: Expenditure for this LGA is based on the TRA estimates for the larger tourism region. Expenditure = spend per night in the tourism region x number of nights spent in the LGA (daytrip visitor spend based on visitor numbers). Four Year Annual Average: A four year annual average is the sum of the figures (visitors, nights or expenditure) from the last four years divided by four. (Year Ending (YE) Sep 2011 + YE Sep 2012 + YE Sep 2013 + YE Sep 2014) / 4 = Four year annual average ending September 2014. *The presence of a star indicates that there is an insufficient survey sample for this category.
